career

The wiry defender began his career at 1. FC Nürnberg . He was a rather calm representative, but his defensive strike was famous. In 1934 he was with the club in the final of the German championship. In Berlin, however, they were defeated by FC Schalke 04 2-1. Two years later he was able to celebrate a German championship. It was only shortly before the end of extra time that the 2-1 winning goal against the strong Düsseldorf team was achieved . Even before the German championship, he won the Tschammer Cup with the “Club” in 1935. In 1937, Schalke 04 won the final again. This time the club lost 2-0. He had made it to the finals with 1. FC Nürnberg for four years in a row: 1934 German championship, 1935 Tschammerpokal, 1936 and 1937 German championship. So it was not surprising that Reich trainer Otto Nerz noticed the Franconia.

Because of his good defensive performance, he was discovered for the national team and came in the years 1935 and 1936 to eight international matches. Munkert made his national team debut on April 28, 1935 in Brussels in a 6-1 win over Belgium. In 1936 he was also a member of the squad for the Olympic team, but was not used. The Nuremberg defender had his eighth and last appearance in the DFB team on November 15, 1936 in Berlin in a 2-2 draw against Italy. Together with Hans Jakob (goalkeeper), Reinhold Münzenberg , Paul Janes , Ludwig Goldbrunner and Albin Kitzinger, he formed the German defensive against the 1934 world champion.

With Nuremberg he completed 24 final rounds of the German championship, in 1943 there were two more missions for OrPo Warsaw. He later made a guest appearance at FC Thuringia Weida before returning to the club. In 1939 he was drafted into military service. In the 1942/43 season he supported the SG Ordnungspolizei Warsaw . He did not return from captivity until 1947.

As a coach, he was among others at SC Freiburg in the first year of the 2nd League South , 1950/51, active from the second half of the season.

Today Block 4 of the Grundig Stadium bears his name.
